We deliver courses to a wide range of clients, across many sectors, which include many Government Agencies involved in whole of Government exercises like Exercise Cruickshank. Our training covers the range of Incident Management roles up to and including Response Coordinators who provide strategic direction, support and coordination for Incident Management teams in complex or multiple incidents.
Incident Management Teams ensure that high level decisions are coordinated during an emergency and manage the threat to life, property and the environment during the response phase.
The COVID-19 is an example where the Coordinated Incident Management System (CIMS) system was used during the response phase over a prolonged period.
